Symposium
Based on Plato’s classical text, this adaptation transforms the philosophical dialogue into an ironic, carefree fantasy about an gathering of thinkers. The performance functions as a non-serious, playful deconstruction of the canon, shifting between physical studio craft and virtual reality environments to investigate the nature of Eros, love, and human thought.
